The Hide

This morning I decided to take advantage of the many fallen palm fronds that are littering our yard. The project started out with the aim of creating a tee pee, but due to windy conditions, turned out to be more of a 'hide', resting on another large fan palm frond and the fence. The boys immediately swung into action and created a 'weapons store' (milk crate), with Keesha as their 'sabre tooth' for protection. I have a feeling it will remain standing for a few days yet, with many hours of play battles and the like to take place.

Undara

Well........there are huge gaps in this blog (I might add out-of-sequence pics once I get around to editing them), but I'll try and get back in the habit by posting my most recent pics.

These pics are from last week when we travelled out to Undara (2 1/4 hours from here) to see the lava tubes and 'camp'. The camping was very civilised as we stayed in permanent tents which had floors, lights, sink and a bar fridge - this is as close to camping as I get!!

We went on a lovely short bushwalk on Wednesday afternoon as the sun was going down, as well as a couple of trips to the pool (as you do when you have two active boys). Thursday went went on a half day tour of the lava tubes and got filthy!

We had a really lovely time and wished that we had stayed another night or two!
